What's a Wood Carvers Screw? (and how do you use it?)

I've been more into wood carving lately and so have been looking for ways to hold my carvings steady while I work. I came across the wood carvers screw, a large (sometimes smaller/sometimes bigger) screw which screws into your work and uses a wing nut to tighten against another surface.

It can be frustrating to look for a carving clamp or some kind of hold down for your woodcarving and I think this is a more stable and more versatile clamp than most.
